We have introduced additional component options when creating itineraries. These include Car hire, Transfers, Excursions, Escorted Tours, Rail and Cruise (short cruise tours). When you hit 'New Component' within an itinerary, you will see the pop up below.

Each of the components have their own individual pop ups containing the relevant information on each.

CAR HIRE : Pick up and drop off point are free text entry. Heading is the name given to the component, ie Car Hire from JFK'. Supplier is chosen from a dropdown. (which is managed by your administrator in Business Tools.). All fields apart from 'Heading' are optional. If a field is not used nothing will be shown for that data field.

On previous versions the itinerary was always dictated by the date and time of the itinerary component. The default remains as the itinerary being ordered by date and time, however you can now manually drag and drop components and re-order as required. You do this by clicking anywhere within the chosen component leg and holding, then dragging that to the required position within the enquiry. If you wish to return to date and time order on that itinerary, there is a blue box located at the top of the itinerary, where you can simply click on the 'here' link to order by that method.

Within quote components there are now 'supplier' dropdowns for certain types such as car hire, rail, excursions etc. These can be managed by each customer using 'Supplier Manager' which lives under Business Tools > Platform Settings > General.

 To add a supplier simply click on 'Add Supplier' and you will be shown the pop up below . Add supplier name, description is optional and choose the supplier type to ensure it appears in the correct dropdowns.

Component/Fix	Details	Add New Itinerary Components	New Component icons
Allow manual ordering of quote legs	Addition of Supplier management in Business Tools	Addition of File Manager	We have added File Manager under Business Tools which allows you to create folders and upload images into relevant folders. To Create folders simply click 'Create Folder' and it will create a new folder for the area you are in, be that the root or within a folder. A breadcrumb is displayed at the top left to indicate where you are in the structure. Example : Current Folder: /Quote Images/Transfers/Plane Transfers/ Image RemovedProduct Manager	I am really pleased to confirm that we have now introduced 'Product Manager' into the Business Tools. This will be a huge benefit in creating quotes for customers and will provide the basis for future profile matching and promotion. I'll send out a summary note on the latter at a later date but lets look at what you can do with Product Manager today. In summary, Product Manager will allow administrators and central marketing teams to create specific products and save them in TProfile. These products can range from simple single stays with excursions, multi centre itineraries with a large number of components, single cruise products with some additional components, back to back cruises and so much more. Once these products have been created they can then be pulled directly into quotes. We have added an additional method to create a quote, that being 'Create from a product'. There are then optional methods to adjust the start date, which will effectively re-order the itinerary from a single date entry. Hope you like it....details below :- You will find Product Manager under Business Tools. Image Added Start by going into 'Product Manager' and click 'Add Product' Image Added The next stage is to add the product details which is the name of the product, the category or multiple categories, the destination or multiple destinations and the brand it is applicable to. If applicable to all brands just leave this blank. Image Added This will then add the product to the list. Click on the 'tick' icon at the end of the row and go into 'Edit Product'. Image Added You are then presented with an empty itinerary from which you can begin to build a product by adding components. With Cruise you can add a single cruise/ferry leg or you can bring in a full cruise itinerary. You can also use the new 'back to back' cruise option noted below. Image Added The itinerary will be automatically saved and you can simply close or return to another section when completed.
Category Settings	The categories referred to above in Product Manager are managed via business Tools > Platform Settings > Products. Image Added You can then click on 'ADD CATEGORY' to add a new category. Simply add the category name and choose the 'holiday' types you wish to assign this category to. So for example you may add 'culture' and assign that to city breaks, river cruise, summer sun, multi centre, tour, etc. This process will allow detailed matching, personalisation and additional searching on products in later releases.

Back to Back Cruises	Agents are now able to create quotes using back to back cruises. So typically this would be a cruise leg to a certain destination followed by a hotel stay and/or travel to another departure port where they can pick up a second cruise. Importantly the total or package pricing in this type of quote has to be manually added due to complexity of components and cabins. Example Back to back cruise quote : https://demo-staging-2.tprofile.com/your-quote/86a090fc-7904-4f48-aabe-08d7c69be923 To create a back to back cruise, after you have entered the first cruise and continue you will be presented with the page below. Here you can suimply create if its a single cruise quote or you can click on 'ADD ANOTHER' to create a back to back quote. Image Added
Bug on Flight Return	A bug previously reported when adding a return flight in a quote has now been resolved.
Bug on Pagination on certain pages	A bug that prevented viewing of pages 2 onwards on certain list pages has now been resolved.
Bug on CC and BCC with quotes	A bug reported where cc and bcc where not working on certain communications to customers has now been resolved.
Transfer Time Edits	The first release of transfer times only had units of one hour available. This has been resolved and transfers can be applied as a decimal, eg, 0.5 hours. We will review this component going forward but in meantime it does cater for less than one hour transfers.
